Well, yes, certainly there are no battles before Zhuge Liang. But don't forget genius parts, like when Guan Yu fukn stood on the bridge alone and yelled so badly that a hundred thousand strong army thought that the fucker can't be sireous and there must be some horrible shit going on, and was completely scared off. Or like when he rode out of the battle with a child under his armor.
Anyway, you should have noticed that you're reading quality stuff when Cao Cao killed that man and his family close to the beginning, when he thought that they overheard him talking; and when the man told him how his family is somehow dead and Cao Cao understood that he made a huge mistake, he became confused and killed a man, too.
Or when that one official is killed on the ceremony in pronce's court; and then a maid comes into his wife's chambers, and the wife is all "oh my, girl, you reek of blood, wtf go wash yourself", and the maid yells "THEY KILLED ME, MY WIFE, THEY LURED ME IN AND KILLED ME."
Sanguo is fucking awesome.
